Assignment, Hierarchies and Upper Tails
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines whether changes in upper tails could explain increases in inequality in recent decades. First, methods are discussed that would determine the relative contributions of educational di¤erentials or variance of outcomes within educational levels to overall inequality. Preliminary analysis suggests that educational di¤erentials could not explain increases in inequality. The paper then examines empirically Pareto upper tails and shows that inequality in upper tails within industries have increased substantially.

Adaptive Bayesian Shrinkage Estimation Using Log-Scale Shrinkage Priors
Global-local shrinkage hierarchies are an important, recent innovation in Bayesian estimation of regression models. In this paper we propose to use log-scale distributions as a basis for generating familes of flexible prior distributions for the local shrinkage hyperparameters within such hierarchies. An important property of the log-scale priors is that by varying the scale parameter one may v...
متن کاملApplication of modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies algorithm in parceling of brain performance using fMRI data
Introduction: Clustering of human brain is a very useful tool for diagnosis, treatment, and tracking of brain tumors. There are several methods in this category in order to do this. In this study, modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies (m-BIRCH) was introduced for brain activation clustering. This algorithm has an appropriate speed and good scalability in dealing ...
متن کاملGroup Hierarchies with Constrained User Assignment in Linux
In this paper we investigate one aspect of RBAC administration concerning assignment of users to roles. A user-role assignment model can also be used for managing user-group assignment. We overview a constrained user-group assignment model and describe its implementation in the Linux system. Rather than set user and file rights individually for each and every user, the administrator can give ri...
متن کاملAn Interval Assignment Problem with Multiple Attributes: A DEA-Based Approach
One of the basic combinatorial optimization problems is the assignment problem that deals with assigning jobs to individuals. In traditional assignment problems, n jobs usually assign to n individuals such that the total cost is minimized or the total profit is maximized. However, in numerous real-life applications, various attributes could be considered in assignment problems while data (obj...
متن کاملA model for employer’s decision for recruitment
This paper presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of this decision and how it relates to wage setting and the provision of general training. The theoretical framework is a promotion tournament involving M competing firms with heterogeneous productivities, two-level job hierarchies, and a fixed number of managerial positions. This paper also considers an alternative model based on variati...
